Anxious, Overwhelmed, and Wondering: “What’s Happening to Me?” The truth is, this isn't laziness. It’s not a character flaw. And no — you're not broken. For many people with ADHD and anxiety, this cycle of procrastination, panic, and self-criticism becomes so normal, you don’t realize how deeply it’s running your life. You’re doing your best to hold it all together on the outside… but inside, it’s chaos. If you're a young, career-driven person who’s always been the “high achiever” or “the one who figures it out,” this moment of burnout can feel like hitting a wall — and not knowing how to get around it.
Over time, therapy doesn’t just help reduce anxiety or improve focus. It can transform how you show up in relationships. How you feel about your work. How you talk to yourself at 2 a.m. when your brain is trying to spiral again. Many of my clients notice changes in multiple areas of their life.
We work at a pace that feels human. And yes, there might be mindfulness, movement, or grounding tools involved — but there will also be laughter, swearing (if that’s your thing), and real moments of insight. You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to get support. If you're ready to stop doing it all alone, I’d love to help.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to feel better.
